Chapter 323: Sharp Before the Battle

In the far east, there is a prosperous ancient country, called Yan, which is separated from the Hill Mountains by a sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is rumored that the people of Yanguo have an ancient style, their temperament is elegant, and they have a demeanor in pitching and talking.

The Hill Mountains have had their business relationship for a long time.

In addition, among the Yan Kingdom, when the art of war strategy is the most prosperous, every time there is a hand-me-down military book that comes across the sea, the battle formation of the Hill Mountains has gradually evolved from the roughest and most primitive brute force war to today's artistic fighting for me.

Magic flourished on the side of the Hill Mountains, but war also played a very important part in history.

Therefore, among the nobles, there are often people who study the art of war, and most of the books on the art of war are imported from the distant eastern Yan country, and these people's conversations and words often have a strong oriental language tone.

Therefore, this made Liang Qiu, who had just come here, a little surprised, and the other party's skill in hanging the book bag was even more Oriental than himself.

Although the situation of this war is complicated and complex, it seems to be imaginative, in a word, it is nothing more than the right time and place.

Autumn is getting deeper, the temperature is getting colder, and in a few days, and even the weather is freezing, the enemy army will be in a dilemma, and the time is on me.

My five connected cities, Braun, Xinghuo, Ferron, Crescent, and Venice, are connected by the same breath and branches, and are backed by the rich resources of the empire, which is a geographical advantage.

Although the enemy has many troops and generals, it is only a temporary ability. It seems to be omniscient and imposing, but there is one thing that cannot be washed away no matter what-the Sakura Kingdom, Prince Mackay or the surging warriors on this battlefield, no matter how whitewashed, cannot change a fact. These people, they ...... All aggressors.

Since ancient times, evil has not prevailed over good, and this cherry blossom kingdom rashly sent troops, and if the name is not right, it will not be good, and it will bear the infamy of the world.

Therefore, on the human side, the enemy and the thief account for only half of the people.

And I am in the empire, full of talents, and the rank is the dragon and tiger among the people, as long as I survive the current predicament, wait for the empire to go back and get angry, and wave my backhand...... I believe that the clouds will see the sun, and the willows will be bright. ”

It was an executive officer under His Highness who spoke this, and he was silent when he saw the menacing siege spirit of Prince Mackay's army. was worried that Griffith and the others would be frightened because they were in contact with such elite soldiers for the first time, so they spoke out to strengthen everyone's courage.

Then a middle-aged man with a beard chimed in:

"What Colonel Soma said is very true, and you must know that you have been exhausted again and again. The enemy thieves came victorious, and the morale was as expected.

However, our army only needs to block the first three waves of its offensive, and after each battle, the morale of our army will grow, and the enemy will weaken. In the long run, the form will be reversed! ”

These words are reasonable, well-founded, but the actual situation is not so simple and optimistic, the big demon smiled and nodded yes. He looked in the direction of Liang Qiuzhizhi, who was licking his dry mouth and holding his forehead at the moment.

There are also many generals around him who are saying similar things, and some of them arch their hands and compliment a few words, 'So-and-so, he is really a hero of my generation, and the heroes see the same' and so on. Some people also put their hands outside the wall, pointed to the red torrents that were shouting desperately forward in the smoke and dust, and made heroic gestures: "Native chickens and dogs, dare to compete with the empire?!" ”

This mood was deliberately maintained at the beginning, and it was brewing and fermenting for a while. But blind optimism or pessimism is not the mood that a general should have, so soon the sudden bad news woke everyone up and blinded them.

The time is the sixth day of the siege of Starfire City by the Sakura Kingdom, and the terrain is relatively outer, but in terms of defense alone, it can be called the Starfire City of the Fortified City......

Fallen.

The ins and outs of the matter began on the fourth day of Prince McGee's siege.

Prince Mackay's army, which had an overall advantage in all aspects, began to storm Starfire City on that day.

After hearing the news, the remaining four cities, including Braun City and Feilun City, decisively sent troops to lead large troops to attack the coalition forces from all sides. They took advantage of the fortified city, put on armor and rode horses, took the enemy by surprise, and then took the fight in a roundabout way or returned to the city to recuperate.

In response to the enemy on all sides, Prince McGee divided the vast majority of his forces to deal with the attacks of the remaining four cities. The remaining troops are focused on dealing with Spark City.

Due to the high morale of the Sakura Kingdom and the fact that it is a hundred strong soldiers, the guards of Spark City, who were soon overwhelmed, could not raise their heads.

On the battlefield full of mourning, the side of the Sakura Kingdom is shouting and scolding every day, and the siege continues. Even at night, the besieging soldiers piled up fire oil on the side of the road and set it on fire with rockets. The deep and dark battlefield will be lit up all night long.

The generals defending the city fought hard at first, scolding back, and from time to time they could also cause echoing and cheering. But after a long time, especially after people were tired of continuous attacks and defenses, they lost the strength to talk back - most people have become accustomed to seizing the time to hold their swords and lean against the city wall for a while in the short interval after the siege.

With the advantage of strong soldiers and strong horses, Prince McGee's side took turns to attack Spark City day and night regardless of the cost.

The siege team is divided into two arrays, alternating between resting and besieging the city, so it is guaranteed that more than 18 hours of time will be spent on the siege of the city within 24 hours.

With such a desperate assault on Spark City, the losses must be large. In just two or three days, the corpses of the soldiers on the Sakura Kingdom side who were left on the battlefield had been stacked in several layers. But the siege of the city day and night made the soldiers of Starfire tired, and it was difficult to get enough rest, and many of them had not even closed their eyes since the beginning of the war.

The coalition forces entangled with Griffith and other four cities in order to ensure the large rear of the brothers who stormed Starfire City. They can only make the team patrol repeatedly, and they have the potential to draw a prison for a long time.

This is a common fatigue tactic, both sides have advantages and disadvantages, and the final outcome depends on whether the defenders of Spark City can't withstand the high-intensity offensive and defensive battles and collapses, or Prince McGee's side can't withstand the economic losses under the city and around the city and retreats.

However, in the early morning of the sixth day of Prince McGee's attack on Starfire City, there were some subtle things that were quietly changing the entire battle situation.

It had been foggy the previous evening, and it had rained again near the wee hours of the morning.

Prince Mackay's army surged up like a tidal wave as usual, and the battering rams mounted on the wooden carts gurgled into the mud and were pushed out by brute force.

At this time, torches were lit on the battlefield, and the smoke and rain blew down, and a few bright yellow gloom flashed and fell into darkness.

In the distance of the nightlight, something stirred up the huge inky night. There were troops in bright red armor lined up in a neat phalanx, trampling through the mud and tearing apart the silence of that corner.

The familiar shouts followed, and the archers on the walls drew their bows numbly. The rain of arrows fell, and someone below held a shield to block the sharpness.

Someone occasionally used a knife or gun in his hand to pull away one or two stray arrows, but after one or two times, they were also nailed to the ground......

Roars and frenzied and exuberant enthusiasm burned in the cold of the night, and the sound of 'sudden, sudden, sudden' opening and closing came from all directions. I can only hear the sound, but I can't see the source.

The sky was full of arrows, enemies, ours.

Those who come up, those who go down......

Someone brandished a knife to cut through the clearing, someone took the opportunity to shout something like 'Rush, I'll kill you bastards', and in the darkness behind them, a steady stream of soldiers squeezed into this not-so-open wall. A tragic and resolute fight is underway......

This corner of the night was more lively than ever.

At the same time, however, in vain, more than a dozen arrows as thick as three meters long pierced the air, stirring up the thick darkness and shooting at the generals standing at the head of the city.

Some of the giant arrows shot by the bed crossbow did not grasp the angle well, flew away, came from the darkness, cut through the beige light, and shot into the darkness.

Some of the arrows hit the city walls, while others hit the soldiers who came out of the woods, and the soldiers were filled with arrows the thickness of small trees, and dragged the people behind them into candy balls......

Then a second wave of bed crossbows spewed out huge arrows, and everyone up and down the city walls shouted. Some people rode the ladder to brave the autumn rain overhead and the falling stones and oil to rush up to the city in a desperate way......

Scimitars and spears went in and out of the soldier's hands, and in the faint light of the fire, figures clinged to the ground like ghosts, and the sword came and the fire intertwined with each other......

The old man sitting on the high platform in the tent stroked the handle of the precious jujube red chair inlaid with gold and jade with his right hand, and he looked at the faint light in the darkness in the distance. There was a sparkle in his eyes.

At this distance, the shouts of killing in Spark City were still faintly heard......

"Time...... Almost. ”

After a long silence, he muttered to himself, his fingers repeatedly touching the rounded top of the chair handle. His Royal Highness leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for a moment, and then he looked up at the Hidden King, who was standing next to him holding a knife, a little sleepy.

The prince smiled and asked the proud guard, who had recently received his new income.

"Li Goudan, our army has been attacking the city for several days without success, what do you think?"

Galen Fox, who goes by the pseudonym Li Goudan, heard the prince's question, cheered up and arched his hand.

"Returning to Your Highness, the enemy has been forced by our army for several days, and now he must be sleepy and weak-willed.

I behold, within two hours after midnight today, there will be heavy rain. Why don't you take the opportunity to sneak into the city and open the city gate...... "Galen has been with McGee for a while, and many of the battle situations and information from his own side are under control.

"Not bad!" As he said this, the old man's cloudy eyes were already shining. His Royal Highness the Prince patted the watch chair and praised it, and in the majestic darkness behind him, a huge flash suddenly lit up......

Cameroon Gagot, a military mage from the Sakura Kingdom, is a second-order light magician. The embarrassing rank of the second order actually occupies the absolute mainstream of the crowd in the entire Hill Mountains.

Cameroon is no different from all the mages who accompany him, and his abundant mana and relatively weak body make him unfamiliar to all beings.

But he was actually a direct descendant of a declining aristocracy, and I heard that his ancestors had produced nobles such as earls. Therefore, the family has a rich heritage. It's a pity that the family is in the middle of the road, and after several twists and turns, it has been passed into his hands, and there are few assets left in the family.

Among the few remaining legacies, a third-order orb called the 'Eye of Tek' has become the most precious thing in Cameroon.

The name of Tek is actually a sage who has made outstanding contributions to the study of light magic energy in the last century. Tek Sage's research area is the decomposition and synthesis of optical magic particles. He broadened the applicability of light energy by separating the wavelength and particle properties of light energy, and was also the founder of this branch of discipline.

The Eye of Tek was one of several magical spells commonly used by sages at the time, and its effect was to emit a bright light that blinded people for a short time.
